Breaking News: Saddam's two sons are killed by US Special Forces.

[Dinner]

I just saw this on MSNBC. Apparently, the US had gotten a tip from a man captured in a previous raid the US conducted in Mosul that Saddam's two sons Uday and Cosay were in a house in the Iraqi city of Mosul. The US forces raided the house and there was a huge gun fight in which both of Saddam's sons were killed.

This is great news! So what do you think? Will this have an effect upon the moral of the Saddam Fetahine who keep planting bombs and shotting at soldiers in Iraq?

If true,

I do not take joy from hearing death news of my enemies. I'd like to think, that my passion is only combat, not the result... But I won't be crying for these guys, and they will not be missed. ****ers.

It has yet to be confirmed by CENTCOM.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Too bad they died. They might have known where saddam was.

Yeah I think the same, the got away too easy.

However, good that they will not kill or torture anymore people.

I thought the two hated each other. Why were they both in the same place?

There is no place in the world where they would receive a FAIR trial. They had numerous chances to surrender b4 today......They could have been in exile but chose to stay.

Why not? If only half of the rumours about their crimes are true, they could make a trial quite easily. Plus, I think it would be important for the Iraqi public.

When your in the middle of a firefight the opportunities for surrender decrese dramatically. Me thinks they should have come out when they were told to come out. Tell us how you would have taken them alive if faced with a firefight situation.

[BeBMan]

Well, in those movies they always have a psychologist ready who convince the bad guys that it is better to give up. After some dramatic moments - they usually do so

Well, it would have been important for Iraqi public to see their former leaders tried and sentenced to what ever the punishment is. To me, life in prison for these would have been enough, in harsh conditions. Or I don't know, maybe they deserved something worse, something they did to others, innocent folks. But then again we don't have to go to the same level, level of beasts and evil to get back. Headshot will do justice. And it did.

Besides, they decided to go down with bullets flying in the air, they put up a fire fight. So, there's not much of a chance capturing them alive. Besides, I believe that at the end of the day, they might have had more balls than their old man and they could've offed themselves knowing what's coming. So better we got to do it our way, than they their way.
